A charming and characterful, centuries old detached cottage, situated in this delightful, idyllic location in the heart of Peppard Common and enjoying wonderful mature south facing gardens. Magpie Cottage is a characterful and desirable cottage believed to date back to circa 1700 with later additions making it a truly wonderful and individual home, set amongst the rural woodland of Peppard Common.
Peppard is a charming village situated on the edge of the Chiltern hills, enjoying a rural environment with many footpaths and bridleways. There are two public houses within walking distance and Sonning Common is within approx one mile providing a range of shopping, schooling and recreational facilities, with Henley on Thames just 5 miles away with its wide variety of restaurants, shops and the river Thames. More comprehensive amenities are available together with mainline railway station to London Paddington at nearby Reading. There are also good sports facilities nearby with a wide choice of golf courses, riding facilities and leisure centres, with excellent road communication having good access to both the M4 and M40 motorways.
Accommodation
Approached through an entrance lobby and into a spacious reception hall, with steps up to the wonderful cosy sitting room with open fireplace and wood burning stove with exposed beams and stairs up to the guest bedroom. From here there are book cases and a wide opening into the study with built-in desk and cupboards with extensive shelving. The dining room is a good size with French doors opening onto the south facing gardens. The fireplace has a wood burning stove; there are extensive exposed beams and an enclosed staircase giving access to further bedrooms. From here proceed through a further doorway to the cottage-style kitchen, which is attractively fitted with pine cupboards together with roll-edge worksurfaces; appliances include split-level oven, 4-ring induction hob with canopy above, integrated fridge/freezer and built-in combination/microwave oven. There is a ceramic tiled floor which also leads into the rear lobby with a door to garden and to the ground floor cloakroom.
First Floor
The first floor is split by two staircases; the master bedroom is a good sized double room with exposed beamed ceiling and a walk-in wardrobe together with an en-suite bathroom, which is attractively fitted with tiled splashbacks. There is also a spacious dressing room. Also from this landing, through an open-beamed wall there is a study which could easily be made into a third bedroom, also with heavily beamed ceiling and walls. The secondary staircase gives access to bedroom two which has a beamed and eaved ceiling. The separate shower room is attractively fitted with a shower cubicle, vanity wash basin, W.C. and part tiled and part-panelled walls.
Outside
The property is approached through the woodland of Peppard Common and there are two independent sets of five-barred gates giving vehicular access. The gardens are mature and beautifully tended, enjoying a southerly facing aspect with two separate vegetable gardens, numerous shrub and flower bed borders, all enclosed by mature hedging and fencing. There is one large garden shed with hard standing, which would easily lend itself to providing space for garaging (subject to permissions). There is two further garden sheds and the old brick-built privy which again provides further storage. To the rear is a pedestrian gate onto a footpath which independently accesses Colliers Lane.
